Hatcher Pass is famous as a convenient and spectacular destination for outdoor recreation. Easily accessible from some of Alaska's most populous munipalities, Hatcher Pass offers quick access to quintessential Alaska features, like deeply crevassed glaciers, cloud-scraping peaks, and endless hiking trails. With myriad campgrounds, backcountry huts, and even the Hatcher Pass lodge, options are abound for your head to hit the pillow after day spent exploring this wild paradise. It is hard to imagine a more perfect setting for an Alaska adventure.
For landscape photographers, Hatcher Pass is a dream. Steep peaks with jagged ridge abutments, tumbling streams dotted with gumdrop granite boulders, ambrosial alpine lakes and even historical intrigue at the Independence Mine State Historical Park provide plenty of fodder to frame up in your camera lens. Abundant wildflowers in the summer and endless trails curling through the rugged Talkeetna Mountain Range provide enough subject matter for a lifetime. If you are a landscape photographer visiting or living in Alaska, Hatcher Pass should be at the top of your list.
